In the realm of wireless communication, Morse Micro has paved the way with its groundbreaking creation – Wi-Fi HaLow. This innovative standard has successfully pushed the boundaries of data transmission to unprecedented distances.
Extending Boundaries: Wi-Fi HaLow Testing
During rigorous testing of Wi-Fi HaLow (802.11ah protocol), engineers managed to extend the data transmission range to an impressive 3 km. However, this achievement came at the cost of speed, dropping from 11 to 1 Mbps.
The data transfer at such a vast distance was made possible by operating in the 850-950 MHz range on narrow frequency bands of 1, 2, 4, and 8 MHz. Waves at these frequencies navigate through obstacles rather than getting stuck, ensuring seamless transmission.
Characteristics of Wi-Fi HaLow
One significant drawback of this new standard is the decrease in data transfer speed as the distance increases. During testing, speeds ranged from 11 Mbps at 500 meters to just 1 Mbps at the maximum 3 km distance.
Despite the reduced speed, it proved sufficient to support a functional video call. The technology's operation can be witnessed in the video below.
A notable advantage of Wi-Fi HaLow is its robust resistance to interference, a crucial feature for implementation in densely populated urban areas.
IoT-Focused Solution
Given that long-range Wi-Fi devices like Wi-Fi HaLow are primarily designed for Internet of Things (IoT) scenarios rather than media consumption due to their lower speed, this achievement positions Wi-Fi HaLow as the optimal long-range wireless solution.
Additionally, it boasts low energy consumption compared to Wi-Fi 7, making it an ideal choice for IoT applications and corporate networks.
Application and Future Prospects
Anticipated applications for this new communication standard include the realm of IoT and corporate network operations. Wi-Fi HaLow's deployment is likely to thrive in scenarios where stable long-range connectivity is paramount.
As a reminder, in early 2024, Wi-Fi Alliance officially introduced the Wi-Fi 7 standard, offering users enhanced connection speeds and additional capabilities.
In conclusion, the evolution of Wi-Fi technology to the 7th generation signifies a significant enhancement in data transmission speed in wireless networks. This advancement will not only elevate bandwidth but also increase the overall data throughput across various devices simultaneously. Morse Micro's Wi-Fi HaLow emerges as a promising player in the ever-evolving landscape of wireless communication standards.
